Senator kenna Interviewed

United States Senator John Z. kenna,
of West Virginia, was interviewed In
Wheeling few days ago by reporter
of the Mteli,gencer. He has no doubt
of a Democratic victory in West Nir-
ginia next year. and says the election OF
Judge Faulkner 10 the Senate has done
much towards healing The party differ
ences in this State. He thinks the con-
test between Judge Faulkner and Mr..
Lucas for the Senatorship will result in
the seating of the former. Mr.. kenna
thinks Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana.
will be nominated for e-President,
and is confident President Cleveland
will be renominated and elected. In
speaking on the tariff question MIR.
Kenna expressed himself as being OPP
posed to an extreme policy either way.
He says he is protectionist and in line
with Mr.. Randall, and Is against all
measures that have in view the al innate
wiping out of the protective features OF
the income taX or the final adm ission of
free raw material. He is for reduc-
ton of the internal revenue taxes, and
declares that he believes in a practical
revenue reform, which would be a mod
itication Of the views advanced on the
subject by "abstract theorists and
would afford ample protection, as well
as keep down the surplus.

ceived through the mail letter contain
ing some printed and written verses Of
an obscene nature. She returned it to
the postmaster who promptly reported

cretly TO Webster, secured the letter and
theL posted an advertisement at that
place offering fabulous wages for hands
to work in a factory and directing all
who wanted work to address him at a
certain place. Among those who re-
sponded to the advertisement WAS Bal

Not African, but Indian

An interesting case. involving prin-
ciple of the West Virginia Constitution
has Just been tried at the Circuit Court
of Upshur county, this State. Inc
plaintiff was DR.. Joseph Waus, and the
defendants the School Board of county
village. The doctor claims TO be de-
scendant of the Chippewa Indians. He
married white woman OF Upshur
county some years ago, aud he and his
family are highly respected. A year
ago he attempted to send his son to the
white school, and the Board OF E'iuca-
ton refused 10 admit him, because he
had colored bl Cd in his veins. The
constitution of this State does not per-
nit white and colored children 10 attend
the same school. Being refused admit
lance for his child. the doctor immedl-
ately sued out writ OF mandamu' TO
compel the trustees to admit him. Upon
the first trial before the justice lie was
/ defeated, and he appealed the case TO
! the Circuit Court of the county. The
trial lasted several days. and in every
way the commissioner tried to establish
the fac. that the child was or African
blood. Failing TO do so, a verdict was
given for the doctor. He claims that he
has not drop of African blood in his
veins, but that he escaped from the
Chippewas when he was eight years
old, and went 10 Washington city.
! From there he came 10 this State, where
! he has since lived. The case attracted
much attention, and prominent attor-
neys were employed OH both sides.

With every advance of emigration into the
far West a new demand is created for Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. Newly peopled re-
gions are frequently less salubrious than
older settled localities, on account OF the
miasma which rises from recently cleared
land, particularly along the banks of rivers
that are subject to freshets. The agricultural
or mining emigrant soon learns, when he
does not already know. that the Bitters afford
the only cure protection against malaria, and

at a funeral near Sycamore, Ohio,
last week, the team attached to the
hearse ran away and the vehicle was re
duced almost to kindling-wood. The
coffir was dashed to the ground, the lid
torn of and the corpse rolled into a
ditch by the roadside. Other teams
took fright and general panic ensued.
Women tainted, men jumped from their
carriages, wagons were overturned,
horses became entangled 10 the general
wreck, and several persons were more
or less seriously injured. The Rev. Mr.
Howells, who was to have conducted
the funeral exercises, was perhaps ia.

The decision of the United States Su-
preme Court upon the validity of the
Bell telephone patents is expected early
in November. 1t is the general opinion
that the decision will be against the
company. Many people imagine that
the result will be that the power Of the
monopoly will be destroyed, and that an
era of cheapness in telephony will set
in. \ dozen patentees, controlling as
many different patents, are preparing
to jump into the gap which they think
will be opened when this long-expected
decision is rendered.
